HuskyCaucasian Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) So, will it officially be over in 5 minutes when the next polls close? no. not enough electoral votes to go OFFICAILLY over 270. But, I have a gut feeling we'll see FL and VA called for Obama within the next 30-45 minutes. If IN or NC get called for Obama before 10PM, they'll call it before CA closes.

bmags Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 no, they make less money if they call it early. Writing is on the wall though. I feel privileged to see this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 So Obama is on track for at least 324 EV, I believe. Possibly 335. Iowa goes to Obama, Utah for McCain. Two states have officially flipped. The CNN score is 206-89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) I guess the place for accepteded failure in IT is when you work for an electronic voting manufacturer. Sequoia systems is trying to fix a glitch that doesn't allow the data to be reported for Cook County. Data is secure from what they are saying, but the reporting feature doesnt work. One day someone will get a product that will work, be secure, and provide quick results without all of this crap.
